[QUOTE="Lissa, post: 703874, member: 30656"] Congratulations on getting your wife involved in riding! She'll have a blast and it'll be a great way to spend time together. First, you should be able to get the frame guards, skid plate and radiator braces from Works Connection. I've never seen anything more then a 'glide' skid plate for a KX-100, but that should be fine in even the most rocky conditions on that bike. Carbon fiber pipe guard should be available from E-Line. While your on the phone with E-Line you can ask them if they have a lighting coil available for the KX-100. If they don't offer it contact Baja Designs. IMS I think offers a large fuel tank if the distance between fill-ups become a problem. Aluminum wrap-around bark busters with plastics brush deflectors should be available from either Moose or E-Line as well. Do not forget to add some aluminum bars when you add the Bark Busters since the stock bars on most bikes are made of cheese metal. Any bike bigger then a KLX-110 that I know of doesn't have any way to limit the amount of throttle applied. That doesn't mean a throttle is not offered aftermarket, it's just that I doubt anybody offers one for a competition based machine. I would leave the stock suspension settings alone except for the rear shock sag. That needs to be adjusted on all bikes for their rider and checked often. The suspension being brand new needs to be ridden for a little while for it to break-in. Once it's broken in it will feel much more plush and will be a much better starting point for adjustments then when it's new and stiff. Two teeth more on the rear sprocket almost always does the trick. As for purchasing the bike, buy it from a reputable dealer that treats you well and keeps a good supply of parts in stock. If you like the dealer let him make something on the machine! The mark-up on that machine is not alot especially since the retail price dropped a few hundred dollars from last year's price. Besides, if your dealer doesn't make any money on the bikes he sell's then he won't be in business for long (running a business ain't cheap!). So do the chap a favor and let him make a living. Good luck and have fun! [/QUOTE]
